In the discussion that Ceoil said was over, I didn't question that Princesse was her title, nor that it even mattered. What I don't like is the English "The" attached to a title in French, - Princesse de Broglie would be fine, Portrait of the Princesse of Broglie would be fine, but I dislike The Princesse de Broglie. Just to make you understand. The discussion was declared over. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:00, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello Johnbod - I have redone Murano glass, and hope to get it to Good Article. I see you were opposed to a merger of Murano glass and Venetian glass. What do you think now I that have changed Murano glass? I believe that the current Murano glass article, with changes mostly to the intro and "Today" section, should be the Venetian glass article, and Murano glass should redirect to Venetian glass. Right now, Murano glass gets over 10,000 view per month, while Venetian glass gets about 2,000. Perhaps with your assistance, a decision on the merger could be made—and have a GA for a glass article.

Hi. It looks like you're confused with the use of the term "Persian". The history and culture of Iran is not limited to the ancient Persian Empires, the
region of Persia, or the
Persian people. You can't categorize articles concerning the Median Empire and the Parthian Empire of classical Iran or the Azerbaijanis or the Kurds of modern Iran under the name "Persian". So, are you going to stop reverting my edits or do we need to start a discussion on this issue?

Your history shows you have a pattern of escalating corrections into unnecessary conflict, both when you correct others and when others correct you. I know a lot of people think trying to shame and abuse anyone who makes a mistake improves quality, but evidence shows it doesn't. It creates defensiveness, and conditions editors to resist admitting error. It trains everyone to hide their mistakes, and rationalize them, rather than quickly owning up to them so we can all move on to something constructive.
This superlative sat unsourced on History of paper for 10 years until I raised this question. If I had been afraid of getting bit, I'd have left it alone and it would have remained uncited for years more, in the hands of you Wikipedia royalty. You and I will both make errors in the future, and I expect when you do, you're going to get bogged down in pointless bickering. I see your example and work to avoid being anything like that. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 22:52, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure OWN is a fair accusation. User Tobby72 recently added another image that I did not touch, because it is relevant to the section and I guess there's enough room for it, although it's probably my personal preference that two images per section is enough. Three is pushing it. I like it when images stay neatly within their sections, and illustrate something in the corresponding text. I probably have a mild form of autism that accounts for this lol. - HappyWaldo ( talk) 07:11, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

And then I had a nagging feeling and went and actually looked at the article. "D'oh!" indeed. I work mainly with Elizajacobean literature topics, with slight detours back to the late mediæval and up to the 18th century, in England. My view of "France" is, it seems, too much colored by that.

Just now is my first time to log in since making that T:DYK edit, so I couldn't do anything, but you perhaps noticed that someone else tweaked it. When I made this edit, the latest revision said Global warming is likely to have an effect on the country's biodiversity, with the treeline moving further north and to higher altitudes, and forests replacing tundra. You need to direct your anger at whoever wrote the article, because altitude and latitude both match what was written there.
Moreover, if I'd looked at the source, I would have pulled the article entirely: it's based on an article from a self-published source. This website's about page says nothing about authors or reviewers, and the article is anonymous. Why am I supposed to trust that they interpreted their sources properly? An article written by an uncredentialled or anonymous person is reliable if reviewed by experts or published in an expert-run forum, and an article written by an expert is reliable, but an uncredentialled or anonymous person has no reputation and cannot reliably self-publish anything. Therefore, if you should do anything with your anger, you really ought to direct it at whoever decided that this unreliable source was acceptable. I expect the information's accurate (obviously, global warming means that the locations of minimum temperatures will expand), but that doesn't mean that we're free to use any source that says so.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Durga temple, Aihole, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nandi ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

In the discussion that Ceoil said was over, I didn't question that Princesse was her title, nor that it even mattered. What I don't like is the English "The" attached to a title in French, - Princesse de Broglie would be fine, Portrait of the Princesse of Broglie would be fine, but I dislike The Princesse de Broglie.

Hello Johnbod - I have redone Murano glass, and hope to get it to Good Article. I see you were opposed to a merger of Murano glass and Venetian glass. What do you think now I that have changed Murano glass? I believe that the current Murano glass article, with changes mostly to the intro and "Today" section, should be the Venetian glass article, and Murano glass should redirect to Venetian glass. Right now, Murano glass gets over 10,000 view per month, while Venetian glass gets about 2,000. Perhaps with your assistance, a decision on the merger could be made—and have a GA for a glass article.

Hi. It looks like you're confused with the use of the term "Persian". The history and culture of Iran is not limited to the ancient Persian Empires, the
region of Persia, or the
Persian people. You can't categorize articles concerning the Median Empire and the Parthian Empire of classical Iran or the Azerbaijanis or the Kurds of modern Iran under the name "Persian". So, are you going to stop reverting my edits or do we need to start a discussion on this issue?

Your history shows you have a pattern of escalating corrections into unnecessary conflict, both when you correct others and when others correct you. I know a lot of people think trying to shame and abuse anyone who makes a mistake improves quality, but evidence shows it doesn't. It creates defensiveness, and conditions editors to resist admitting error. It trains everyone to hide their mistakes, and rationalize them, rather than quickly owning up to them so we can all move on to something constructive.
This superlative sat unsourced on History of paper for 10 years until I raised this question. If I had been afraid of getting bit, I'd have left it alone and it would have remained uncited for years more, in the hands of you Wikipedia royalty. You and I will both make errors in the future, and I expect when you do, you're going to get bogged down in pointless bickering. I see your example and work to avoid being anything like that. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 22:52, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure OWN is a fair accusation. User Tobby72 recently added another image that I did not touch, because it is relevant to the section and I guess there's enough room for it, although it's probably my personal preference that two images per section is enough. Three is pushing it. I like it when images stay neatly within their sections, and illustrate something in the corresponding text. I probably have a mild form of autism that accounts for this lol. - HappyWaldo ( talk) 07:11, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Regarding this. I had a whole long message typed up about how I had deliberately made the original shortdesc the way it was and why that was probably the better choice. And then I had a nagging feeling and went and actually looked at the article. "D'oh!" indeed. I work mainly with Elizajacobean literature topics, with slight detours back to the late mediæval and up to the 18th century, in England. My view of "France" is, it seems, too much colored by that.

Just now is my first time to log in since making that T:DYK edit, so I couldn't do anything, but you perhaps noticed that someone else tweaked it. When I made this edit, the latest revision said Global warming is likely to have an effect on the country's biodiversity, with the treeline moving further north and to higher altitudes, and forests replacing tundra. You need to direct your anger at whoever wrote the article, because altitude and latitude both match what was written there.
Moreover, if I'd looked at the source, I would have pulled the article entirely: it's based on an article from a self-published source. This website's about page says nothing about authors or reviewers, and the article is anonymous. Why am I supposed to trust that they interpreted their sources properly? An article written by an uncredentialled or anonymous person is reliable if reviewed by experts or published in an expert-run forum, and an article written by an expert is reliable, but an uncredentialled or anonymous person has no reputation and cannot reliably self-publish anything. Therefore, if you should do anything with your anger, you really ought to direct it at whoever decided that this unreliable source was acceptable. I expect the information's accurate (obviously, global warming means that the locations of minimum temperatures will expand), but that doesn't mean that we're free to use any source that says so.

Did you see Painting of mother of King Henry VII revealed as oldest large-scale portrait of an English woman and this? I've added it to Commons and updated the info on the Lockey copy there. Wewyck is all over the web once one knows to look for him. I have the Burlington Magazine article, and I'm headed down the rabbithole, adding bits to Wikidata as I go. - PKM ( talk) 12:04, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

On 27 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Venetian Renaissance architecture, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that most major Venetian Renaissance architects (villa by Palladio pictured) were not natives of the city, or even of the Republic of Venice? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Venetian Renaissance architecture. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Venetian Renaissance architecture), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Durga temple, Aihole, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nandi ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thank you ever so much! Seems no one does that anymore, and doing it myself didn't seem right. It was so kind of you to take the time. Best regards, SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 14:38, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
